August Ornament, Maintenance, and Photohunt

This post is a little of everything tonight.

First of all, yesterday was the dreaded weigh in day at Weight Watchers. Tuesday was the end of week 3 on maintenance, and still not getting the hang of this... I'm up another pound. So I've played with my points for this week, dropping down a little... also I'm back to work, and no eating out! I've done a lot of that over the last two and a half weeks!

Next, I've not stitched for almost a week! I haven't really picked up needle and thread since Thursday of last week. Tonight I took an off night from Taekwon-Do and everything else. I took a nap, made dinner, and stitched! Finally! Tonight I managed to finish my first of two ornaments for August

Bull Riding at the Holstein Rodeo and all the Safety Monitors were decked in yellow! These guys have a crazy, scary job making sure the bull riders don't get hurt!

I never cease to be amazed that you manage to do two Christmas ornaments a month and still manage to do all the other fine stitching that you blog about ... including your work on some very impressive major projects. I am more than happy when I meet my goal of one Christmas ornament a month. Your Christmas Memories is very sweet ... are you and your friends going to devote a day to finishing ornaments again this year? I enjoyed the photos of the 2008ornament finishing GTG.

You know, I have never stitched an ornament. I have only done projects that I frame and hang. I am working on a cushion now....and all the lovely ornaments you stitch are sorely tempting me. I guess I would have to learn finishing techniques.Hang in there with the maintenance, you will do it!
